Waterford

30-078

The kitchen in this one-story traditional style home plan, features an extra large work island and nook both of which are open to the family room. The Three bedrooms, plus luxurious owners' suite with huge walk-in closet are on opposite sides of the house. Front bedroom, by foyer, conveniently located for home office.

The Waterford is designed to please families who enjoy both informal and formal living spaces and want plenty of it. A large family room/kitchen is at the core of this four-bedroom plan, while the dining room and vaulted living room are at the front, entered through a wide foyer.

Sidelights brighten the foyer. Double doors to the left swing open into a room that could be a bedroom, or just as easily a home office, library or den. On the far side of the room, a pocket door offers access to the bedroom hallway and is also close to the three-car garage.

A corner fireplace warms the family room. Large and naturally bright, the family room is entirely open to the kitchen and nook. Sliders in the sunny nook make it easy to move meals outside when warm air and clear skies beckon. In the kitchen, a huge work island offers elbow room for multiple cooks, and a large walk-in pantry augments the already ample storage space.

More storage closets, along with a powder room, line the hallway leading to the secondary bedrooms and shared dual-compartment bathroom. Utilities are also in this wing, in a room outfitted with long folding counters and a deep laundry tub.

The Waterford's owners' suite is well-isolated from the other bedrooms. Luxuries here include: a roomy walk-in closet, and a two-section bathroom that allows toilet and shower to be closed off for privacy and steam containment. The outer section houses a spa tub and double vanity. French doors open onto a small covered patio.
